Constructed Response Topic 9 : Kinetic and Equilibrium

Set I: Graphing, factors that affect rate of reaction, collision theory


Base your answers to questions 21 through 23 on the information below.

An investigation was conducted to study the effect of the concentration of

a reactant on the total time needed to complete a chemical reaction. Four

trials of the same reaction were performed. In each trial the initial concentration

of the reactant was different. The time needed for the chemical reaction to be

completed was measured. The data for each of the four trials are shown in the

data table below.

Reactant Concentration and Reaction Time

Initial Concentration (M)

21. On the grid, mark an appropriate scale on the axis labeled “ Reaction Time (s).”

An appropriate scale is one that allows a trend to be seen.


22. On the same grid, plot the data from the table. Circle and connect the points .


23. State the effect of the concentration of the 23.

reactant on the rate of the chemical reaction.



24. In a different experiment involving the same 24.

reaction, it was found that an increase in temperature

increased the rate of the reaction. Explain this result

in terms of collision theory.
